How to build strong, lean and fit body.

1.Train for muscle.

Lifting weights is more metabolically stressful so your body burns a much larger amount of calories post workout. In addition, you'll activate the production of hormones that burn fat and calm your appetite. Just lift, you'll be surprised with the result.

2. Don't cut the calories.

Starving is a big mistake. In order to preserve fuel stores, you'll burn less calories every day and trust me, one day you'll end up binging, like it's the last meal. Here's the rule - never eat less thann your BMR (base metabolic rate), i.e. the amount of calories your body burns while resting. Stop stressing out with all the diets you've heard. Bu****it. Instead, try the higher protein and lower carb approach - simply, eat more protein. Protein leads to a better release of hunger hormones.

3. FATisfy yourself.

Fat is the key. Fat gives a flavour to your food. Obviously not any kind of fat. This is the dietary fat, that is occures naturally in products (nuts, oils, milk products, fish...) Eliminating fat will make you eat more carbs. Women who have a higher intake of dietary fat have been shown to be leaner.

4. Switch the carbs.

No, you don't have to eliminate them completely, instead replace them with fruits, vegetables and grains that provide a steady insulin response, as the result you will keep your blood sugar levels under control. Fruit and veggies also contain fiber, which helps you feel fuller for longer. But try to eat your fruits in the first part of the day, while veggies fit perfectly for dinner time.

5. Start with your core.

Squats, deadlifts and pull-ups are hard work, but if you want to see results - they're the best. By building a strong core you can improve your overall fitness level. Core is the base for any other muscle group training. You will be impressed how much it helps with performing any other moves and exercises.

6. A little cardio goes a long way.

Strength training, nutrition, and cardio are the building blocks of athletic performance, but the key is the fine balance - don't diet too much or do excessive amounts of cardio; each of these elements should remain beneficial.

When you are lean, you will feel more confident about your body. Good nutrition, self-discipline and a smart training program will make a huge difference. And ther's no way back. Challenge yourself, grow your potential, be the best you can be.

How alcohol can set back your fitness goals

When it comes to alcohol we all know what it does regarding our social behavior. Apart from that, alcohol provides no nutritional value (empty calories). Alcohol also contains 7 calories per gram, when protein and carbs contain 4 per gram and fat contains the highest with 9 calories per gram.

Aside from the calories, alcohol really packs a punch when it comes to your health. Once you ingest alcohol, your body goes to metabolize it right away. The body can’t store alcohol like it can with carbs, fats and proteins…therefore your body puts all else on hold until the alcohol is out of your system. So everything you ate or drank before you hit the bars that didn’t already get digested is being stored in your body. But what does this mean? This means that our body stores those sources of energy as fat while our body breaks down the alcohol. So that beer belly isn’t just from the calories that alcohol provides, but is also a result of all that stored fat.

HIIT and Fat Burning. Less is More.

HIIT is a key when it comes to taking your body composition to the next level. It's very important to balance your training in order to maintain a strong, well-developed physic.

HIIT also can help you accelerate your fat loss. However, you must remember that when you train hard, you get hungrier. Strength training, HIIT and Metabolic Training will cause you to burn more calories and lose weight, but only if you avoid the temptation (especially at night!) to raid the fridge.

It's all about an intelligent combination of a balanced diet, strength training and HIIT sessions. And never about starvation and excessive cardio.Here are some rules of thumb to remember:

1.Consume the appropriate number of calories. Many good calorie estimators can be easily found online, such as
http://nutritiondata.self.com/

2.Consume the ideal proportions of carbohydrate, protein and fats.

3.Prioritize strength training. This is what builds or holds on to muscle tissue so that you burn more fat for weight loss. Perform three to five strength training sessions per week. Stay strong, not skinny.

4.Add several brief HIIT sessions per week.

I wish you wouldn't use the word "guilt" to describe food. As a fellow dietitian I am sure you know that shame and guilt associated with eating is a strong indicator of an eating disorder. As dietitians we should be champions against the culture of shame and guilt associated with food, not adding to…
